Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an organism that causes tuberculosis (TB), a common infectious disease that has a high death and morbidity rate. Topological indices are mathematical tools used to describe the structural properties of molecules or networks. They provide a quantitative measure of the connectivity and complexity of a system, and play a crucial role in numerous area such as biochemistry and bioinformatics. The purpose of topological indices is to simplify complex structures into numerical values that can be easily analyzed and compared. QSPR modeling is a technique in chemistry that relates the structure of a chemical compound to its physical or chemical properties. It is used to predict properties like boiling points, solubilities, toxicities, and even biological activities of compounds. This saves time, resources, and enables researchers to make informed decisions in drug discovery, material science, and many other areas. In this study, we conducted an analysis of several drugs used for the treatment of tuberculosis. We focused on computing the reducible topological indices based on their degrees. Several techniques and approaches are employed. To perform calculations, we used edge partition methodology, analytical techniques, theoretical graph utilities, and degree counting method. Additionally, we examined six physicochemical properties of these drugs. To establish quantitative structure-property relationship models and evaluate their effectiveness, we employed linear, quadratic, and logarithmic regression analysis. By analyzing the reducible topological indices and physicochemical properties, we aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the drugs’ characteristics and their potential impact on tuberculosis treatment. This study established a significant relationship between the defined indices with two key properties: molar mass and collision cross section. The correlation coefficients for molar mass range from 0.7 to 0.9, while the collision cross section range from 0.8 to 0.9. These results demonstrate a strong association between the indices and the properties under investigation. Furthermore, it is worth noting that both molar mass and collision cross section satisfy the requirements for p-value and F-test value across all indices. This indicates the statistical significance of the observed correlations and the reliability of our findings.
